Utah Jazz game analysis: Burke and Burks help Jazz take care of business vs. Sixers

The Utah Jazz secured their first win of the 2015-16 season, running away easily from the Philadelphia 76ers with the 99-71 blowout victory.

Why the Jazz won: The starters set the tone, with each turning in a fine performance. The bench back court of Alec Burks and Trey Burke followed suit, combining for 25 points, 10 rebounds and seven assists. All seven finished with a plus/minus mark of +14 or better, with Rudy Gobert sporting a +34. It was nice to have forward Trevor Booker back in the fold, after serving his one-game suspension.

Turning point: Is it a stretch to say the turning point occurred at tipoff?
